Re: JAX-RS method matching

[Sergey Beryozkin]

It looks quite perfect, though you can probably simplify and avoid 
checking a super-class, unless you can also have for example multiple 
PUT operations with intersecting path values or some complex Consumes 
expressions...

re returning 0: means you don't mind which method will be selected which 
is not your case, but yes, you can default to 0

Cheers, Sergey
